John 12:22

The Fruitful Grain of Wheat

20 Now there ^awere certain Greeks among those ^bwho came up to worship at the feast.

21 Then they came to Philip, ^awho was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

23 But Jesus answered them, saying, ^a“The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.

24 Most assuredly, I say to you, ^aunless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much¹ grain.

Andrew and Philip tell Jesus - How pleasing to God is this union, when the ministers of his Gospel agree and unite together to bring souls to Christ. But where self-love prevails, and the honor that comes from God is not sought, this union never exists. Bigotry often ruins every generous sentiment among the different denominations of the people of God.
